Abstract
The excitation of the resonance clynotron under the electron synchronism with the negative first, second, third, and fourth spatial field harmonics of the slow-wave structure is investigated experimentally. The excitation occurs without the electron-beam premodulation at the starting current of only several units of milliampere. A simple physical model of electron-field interaction in the comb slot resonators is analyzed theoretically. It is shown that in the clynotron the effective interaction between the electrons and the high-frequency field is possible even though the transit angle has a very high value. The prospects for using the submillimeter-wave clynotron modes under consideration are discussed to increase several times in a period of the slow-wave structure.
